Lake Michigan Skyline Cruise in Chicago
Tess_K, Sep 2026
Captain Bob is the Best!
Info is great but pre-recorded. The route took us out along the breakwater and also ran closer to shore. Captain Bob was open to some questions, once we were docked. Ask him about the lock between the Chicago River and Lake Michigan…critical infrastructure that seems largely unnoticed…

Best way to see the city!
100% the BEST way to see the city and learn about it's history! The docent Jeremy was engaging and fun and made the experience feel like a VIP tour! I loved that there was a little "intermission" so we could enjoy the bar and not miss anything! 20 out of 10 experience!

It was the perfect small tour for our group. Our guide, Steve, was very entertaining and definitely knew a lot about the different neighborhoods. We've been to Chicago many times but had very little knowledge about the different and distinct areas.
